Sophie Layton

Sophie is an innovative, energetic artist. Her time is divided between sketching in the attic space of her home in South London and creating in the print workshop at her studio in Brixton. “I love the physical and intellectual process of printmaking; the way results build up and ideas emerge onto paper, demanding constant decision-making.”

After graduating from Brighton University in 2009, she was awarded a residency at London Metropolitan University and later at the Scuola di Graphica in Venice. Sophie enjoys film, travel and taking photos, which often feed their way into her work. Her dynamic artworks have been exhibited internationally in such places as China, Italy, Poland and London. She is currently preparing for two artist residencies in Japan during Autumn 2017. The resulting work will be show in an exhibition in Tokyo this November.
